156683 divided by 55 
We want to figure out the number of times 156683 can be divided by 55.

On to step 1:
55 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 1 leaves us with 1.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 15 / 55

Moving on to step 2:
If we divide 15 by 55, we get 0 and a remainder of 15.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 15 after subtracting 0 from 15.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 15, then repeat: 156 / 55

Step 3:
The number 55 fits into 156 2 times, leaving a remainder of 46.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 110 from 156 leaves us with 46.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 46 and continue with: 466 / 55

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 466 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 26.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 28.0
If we take 440 away from 466, we end up with 26.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 26, then repeat: 268 / 55

On to step 5:
55 goes into 268 4 times with a remainder of 48.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 284.0
Subtract 220 from 268 to get 48.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 48 and repeat the process: 483 / 55

Let's proceed to step 6:
The number 55 fits into 483 8 times, leaving a remainder of 43.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2848.0
Subtract 440 from 483 to get 43.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 430, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
430 divided by 55 is 7 with a remainder of 45.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2848.7
Deduct 385 from 430 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Step 8:
The number 55 fits into 450 8 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2848.78
If we take 440 away from 450, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 100 by 55, we get 1 with a remainder of 45.
Use 1 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2848.781
If we take 55 away from 100, we end up with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
450 divided by 55 is 8 with a remainder of 10.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2848.7818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
55 goes into 100 1 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2848.78181
Deduct 55 from 100 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 12:
55 goes into 450 8 times with a remainder of 10.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2848.781818
Deduct 440 from 450 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
The number 55 fits into 100 1 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2848.7818181
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 55 from 100.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 14:
If we divide 450 by 55, we get 8 and a remainder of 10.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2848.78181818
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 440 from 450.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Our division results in 2848.78181818 with a remaining 1e-08.
